Apartment of 1200 A.D. recently renovated, furnished with ancient furniture. It is divided in 2 floors, connected together by a medieval tower whose upper floor overlooks the hill on which stands the old town of Seggiano.

The ancient building has been renovated in the respect and preservation of the original materials used. Its terracotta floor, the timber beams of the ceiling, make this apartment unique. It offers a wonderful view over the hills of the Val D'Orcia.
It is located 16 km from Montalcino, 20 km from Pienza, 50 km from Siena.

The tower is the oldest building in the center of the Medieval town of Seggiano. Our house is located in the heart of Tuscany, the cradle of art, history and of the traditional Italian cuisine, appreciated all over the World for its exquisite wine, oil and meat.
There are many recommended activities and routes available and we strongly believe that they will meet the various needs of our guests.

I stayed at Silvia's precious "tower" for a few days with my two friends. It is really an extraordinary place - the medieval tower which has been adopted to it's present function with a good taste and without exaggerated, "stylish" refurbishments. Although Silvia was not at Seggiano during our visit, she engaged a neighbor to give us the keys, and it worked well. We also had an unexpected guest - one night a white owl flew into the room in which we were sleeping, and it took us almost an hour to get the extraordinary visitor out. It was a unique experience - but if you are not of the adventure type, you should better leave the windows closed in the night! ;) All in all, we had a great time in Seggiano.

Silvia was a very friendly and attentive host. The location was beautiful and the building was incredibly unique. It really was like staying in a castle! Our main reason for the mediocre listing is that it's cleanliness was sub par. The entire place had a very strong mildew/musty odor. The linens didn't feel fresh, possibly just because the entire place smelled so bad, but they were also mismatched and worn. We found numerous giant centipede, worm things around the place that appeared on floors and doorsteps during our stay. This gave the impression that they were crawling right out of the woodwork. Gross! The furnishing were also in bad shape, being not only broken , but also worn and dated. We own an historic home and know the difference between unique, antiques and something that should be replaced. There were even places you could see where repairs were attempted in a very poor manner. We also had no wifi and ran out of toilet paper. Though Silvia was great about responding, we couldn't find anything (hair dryer, toilet paper) where she said it was. Though Silvia herself was great, we would not stay with her again.

Federico's house is in the heart of the old Seggiano in a quiet and amazing position. The house is super-nice, old style but with all the comforts. There is a big fireplace in the kitchen, we really enjoyed it and we also made a barbecue. The house is clean and there is a great view from the main bedroom. We didn't meet Federico this time but his cousin has welcomed us giving us all the informations. If you are visiting the area and you are looking for a place both quiet and in a good position, this is highly recommended!

My place is close to restaurants and dining, great views, art and culture, and family-friendly activities. You’ll love my place because of the location, the outdoors space, and the people. My place is good for couples, solo adventurers, business travelers, families (with kids), and big groups.

We travel frequently, and both Sophie and her husband were the best hosts we have come to know so far! With great cordiality facing the host, always impose the personal contact without looking, just great! Insider tips incl. Again many, many thanks! The whole combined with a room which in many details the handwriting of the two bears and the delicious breakfast that stands out clearly from the standard. And everything off the beaten path surrounded by olive groves, an oasis to feel good! We will definitely be back, I promise! Your motorcycle crew from Swabia ...

Apartment w twin bed, bathroom and large terrace overlooking the Val D'Orcia and the medieval town of Seggiano at the foot of Monte Amiata in South central Tuscany, halfway between Siena and the beaches of Maremma. Xtra bed available for 3rd guest

The Podere San Martino is a 4 hectare (10 acre) traditional Tuscan farm (certified organic) situated in one of the last truly unspoiled and untrodden areas of Tuscany. Podere San Martino consists of small group of newly renovated and charming stone buildings located at the end of a tree lined private country lane, on a ridge overlooking the town Seggiano with accommodations for up to five people in two separate furnished apartments: the "Olivella" and the "Elm".
The accommodations:
The "Olivella" has a spacious living room with a kitchen and dining area and a comfortable double bedroom with adjoining bathroom. The living room is furnished with a sofa bed.
The "Elm" consists of a large double bedroom with bathroom and a terrace overlooking the Val d'Orcia.
Both apartments have independent entrances.
The original stone pizza oven is available to guests, as are various picnic areas, flower and vegetable gardens, cherry orchards, vineyards and 4 hectares of olive groves.
The landscape:
Located in Southern Tuscany at the foot of Monte Amiata (1,768 M) and on the border of the provinces of Siena and Grosseto, San Martino is half way between the medieval towns of Seggiano and Castel del Piano.
From its hill top, looking down into the Val D’Orica, Podere San Martino offers 360 degrees of panoramic views; with sunrise above Monte Amiata, the extinct volcano once considered sacred to the Etruscans - to the East and spectacular sunsets over the Potentino Castel (11th century) and the down across the Val D’Orcia to the West, where on a clear day, the hills of Corsica are visible on the horizon.
The area is internationally renown for both, its olive oil, Olivastra Seggianese (DOP) and its wines; Montecucco, Brunello di Montalcino and Morellino di Scansano.
The history of San Martino
The first documented origins of Podere San Martino date back to the fourteenth century, when it was the hermitage of a community of Franciscan monks who tended the farm’s fields, vineyards and olive groves. Local legends recount tales of a lost Etruscan treasure hidden on the farm somewhere within its surrounding hills.
Podere San Martino stands in what can be considered one of the last truly wilderness areas in Tuscany where one can encounter boar, deer, porcupines, hedgehogs and hear the songs of cuckoo, upapa, thrushes and black birds, the cries of falcons, hawks and in the evening the nightingale.

Places to visit:
Parco degli Etruschi - Parco Faunistico del Monte Amiata, the Monte Labbro Natural Reserve
During the autumn one can search for wild mushrooms in the nearby chestnut groves and beech wood forests on Monte Amiata. In winter the slopes of Monte Amiata offer over 25 km of ski and snowboard trails.
We are a short distance from the historic and cultural heritage sites of interest such as Pienza , Montalcino, San Quirico d'Orcia, Montepulciano and many exclusive thermal spas (terme) as well as hot springs open to the public without charge, such as Bagni S. Filippo, Bagno Vignoni, Petriolo and Saturnia.
For contemporary art lovers the farm faces the Sculpture Garden of Daniel Spoerri, one of the cofounders of the Nouveau réalisme (New realism) artistic movement founded in 1960 with the art critic Pierre Restany and the painter Yves Klein. The Garden contains sculptures by the leading artists of the Nouveau réalisme and Fluxis movements, such as Armand, Jean Tinguely, Eva Aeppli and Dieter Roth as well as works by many younger contemporary artists.
Hiking and mountain bike
For lovers of hiking and mountain biking there are many beautiful trails through the unspoiled natural mountain setting;
“A recent network of trails crisscrosses Amiata, uniting the mountain towns between themselves and the peak, and allowing the gathering together of an extraordinary natural and cultural patrimony. At the same time, this network links up with the principle routes which pass through the rest of the Sienese and Grosseto provinces, underscoring the centrality of southern Tuscany, and lending a regional scope to the existing system of trails. The trails stretch to about 215 Km/134 miles, divided into two main routes linked to the great ring around the volcanic cone, for a total of 19 main trails which include surrounding paths.”
Abbey of Sant'Antimo
The original Benedictine monastery dating to the time of Charlemagne (742-814) approximately 10 km from Montalcino about 9 km from the Via Francigena, the pilgrim route to Rome.

We had a great stay at Martha's place. The house is lovely and the attention on details is everywhere. there's a great town just 10min away that you can find everything you need!! A day by the pool relaxing is a must!! Great experience overall.

Fully equipped 4-bedroom house in a beautiful Tuscan Villa on the hills of Monte Amiata.
Everything needed for a self-catered holiday and access to the whole property including two swimming pools and restaurant with beautiful views on Montalcino valley.

If you like to explore Tuscany country live – go to meet Maurizio and his wife Sofie. They are a great family living in their our house in a countryside. The experience was really authentic: the house was just perfect and the hosts themselves were very interesting people to talk to. The only thing we regret is spending only one night at this place. Sofie, Maurizio, thanks!

The location is fantastic, though slightly isolated. The house is spacious, very clean, and contains everything one needs. The surroundings are beautiful, and Maurizio & Sophie do everything they can in order to make you feel good. They produce their own excellent wine, olive oil and marmelades, and they are both warm-hearted and genuinely honest people. If you're looking for quietude and direct contact with nature, do not hesitate!

Thank you Sophie and Maurizio for your great hospitality! We really enjoyed our stay, wine and olive oil! Great place for a family who wants to spend a few days in a quite area with fresh air and beautiful view. It has one separate bedroom, so it’s more suitable for one family with kids. Tips: 1) Ask for GPS coordinates before your arrival. They could be very helpful; 2) Hold on with buying olive oil and wine prior to Maurizio place. Sophie and Maurizio have amazingly delicious and fresh olive oil which they produce, yummy jam and of course incredible wine.

The stone house is located at the end of the road that leads to the Tepolino farm: a stone building, dating back at least 150 years.
Downstairs is a living room-kitchen area, with oven, dishwasher and large dining table that seats 8. There is a pantry, a sitting area with a sofa bed for two people, one bathroom with tub and shower.
Upstairs is two double bedrooms. There is a another bathroom with shower, and a large hallway. The house is provided with an outdoor patio with a dining table.

This place is perfect for those who want to rest and contemplate in an oasis of peace, immersed in the Tuscan nature and protected by the Sacred Mount of the Etruscans: the Mount Amiata.

Very comfortable bed and very clean apartment. The gardens and scenery were fantastic. The host was very accommodating to our needs by providing an iron, and letting us back in when we'd left the house keys in our car on returning from a wedding. Airbnb shows the apartment to be in Seggiano itself, but is actually on a working farm a couple of miles outside.

The little holidays cottage is really nearby the beach, the mountain, several free host springs and beautiful medieval towns...The place is surrounded by nature, vineyards, olives groves and chestnuts forests. Amazing sunsets and infinitive varieties of flowers are part of this real heaven on earth.. Perfect for couples, adventurers and families with kids and pets.

The house is little but really nice and cozy, with two rooms and a nice location, surrounded by nature and a beautiful garden.

Practically no houses around…the property is in the middle of nature and the few neighbors are quiet and calm, nice people, most of them foreigners, respectful with nature and the beauty of the place.

It has been one of our best holiday. Claudio & Ada’s apartment is fantastic for people who like to relax off the beaten track and prefer a warm, homely and cosy atmosphere in peaceful place with great views. Getting there by the dirt road, driver of car with low suspension has to be careful . Claudio and Ada were incredibly friendly and helpful, gave us a sweet welcome package, offered their vegetables and always were asking if something else was needed.
